The latest in my personal (health) numbers games...

It being September, that means that not only did I have my monthly measurements with my personal trainer Josh, but it was time for the regular cholesterol check with my doctor.

The news was good.

First -- the news from my trainer. I've managed to hold my weight pretty much stable while getting the body fat down to 15.04%, according to the latest batch of measurements. This made us both very happy.

This numbers were so good (not only are they way below "healthy maximums," they've been dropping steadily check-up to check-up) that he wants me to try 3 months without taking any statins. I've been on the lowest possible dose of Lipitor for about 5 years now. So, such good news on the health front coming into my 49th birthday is a pretty good gift. I just have to keep up the eating/exercise regimen.
